Fighting for our freedom

 

[Gronk]

Straight up you are an argumentative douche and I am going to enjoy just trolling you as much as possible due to the fact I can't ignore you.

For what it’s worth, I don’t believe you. I have seen you hop on the soap box before and frankly, you don’t like being up there. So you hop off.

All good, we’re all different.

 

[Gronk]

Might be some truth to this.

Fighting for our freedom

I thought we were already free,

and newsflash, we don't live in America

 

[T.S Quint]

Yeah, he's done a proper politician stance here. Say one thing and then conveniently forget it once you come to power.

The Australian Prime MInister would have no power to make a difference in this situation anyway.

Albo was radical left and took radical left stances as a younger bloke/MP - kind of where the Greens MPs are now as grown adults.

Like pretty much all Labor figures who get to contest elections or be PM - Hawke, Keating, Beazley, Crean, Latham (shudder), Rudd, Gillard, and Shorten - Albo is a much softened and vanilla politician/identity than he was in his earliest years.

Here lies the problem with having values and then, once in a position of power, having to apply those values in a practical sense. The problem with this government is that they don't communicate their decisions very well.

For 75 years the Palestinians have been pushed around and their land has been stolen. Israel has been committing human rights violations and they are largely ignored. Young Albo is very aware of this. PM Albo knows that he has to toe the diplomatic line. Call out bad things from both sides. Australia still does not recognise Palestine as an independent state. Why ? What happened to your support ? Explain it Albo. Talk about it often instead of hiding in fear of offending. People appreciate common sense and warmth.

Palestine has been recognised by more than 140 nations – but not yet Australia. So, what exactly defines a ‘state’?

Four criteria are generally used to define a state in international law. From our authors’ perspective, Palestine appears to meet all four.

They bang on about climate change, yet approve expansion of 3 coal mines. A sensible transition to renewables ? Explain it Tanya. If this the necessary part of what transition looks like, then tell it as it is. Don't hide.

Tanya Plibersek approves three coalmine expansions in move criticised as ‘the opposite of climate action’

Decision angers environment groups with Australian Conservation Foundation saying Albanese government ‘continues to disappoint’

I think you just tend to parrot what you read online, maybe I'm wrong but you should try using your own words and that grey stuff between your ears

It still would not surprise me if Trump wins. There are a f**k ton of people in red hats who lap this shit up and are just happy living in their low information bubble.




On a side note, WTF with the makeup bro.

 

[hindy111]

Yeah I agree. Some people are living in a bubble
